Ain't I Social?

You say that I am egocentric when we pass each other without me saying Hi. It’s not like you said hi and I failed to respond. What if you said hi and I don’t respond you’ll say I’m arrogant? Didn’t you notice that I had earphones plugged into my ears? The substantial function of the earphones is to tell you that I’m having my time: not that I’m autistic but I just want to be alone. It’s a decoy to say that I don’t want to get into any conversation right now. Remember I’m not a narcissist.
Or you come and sit next to me in a matatu heading to Rongai without talking and you expect me to say hi and you can see that I’m glued on my phone’s screen then again you say I’m egocentric! If you need to know, I’m replying to snaps on Snapchat after reading Selena Gomez’s hilarious tweets, double tapping my crush’s every photo on Instagram(although I wasn’t tagged in any) checking out funny Dubsmash soundboards and later reply to all my chats on Whatsapp. These are only five social media platforms and you can imagine how many humans I interact with at that time.
You say I’m empathetic because I never care. Imagine each I have to login into Facebook and wish a happy born day to all the birthday guys; some of whom I’ve never even met. Moreover, I always like and comment on those memes posted by my friends. I also spearhead the trending hashtags on Twitter. Do you know how much time I spare to online activism? Can you imagine how much it costs me to vent out such virtual empathy
Why should I yell at you what I ate last night, how I slept and woke up, how I stalked my secret crush or how my Chemistry teacher was mean to me in class. I’m sorry but I can’t do that daytime torture.

NEW POST ALERT!

Wassgood fam! Hello from the other side. I haven't been writing for the past one or so years and I'm guilty as charged, I deserve all the critic. I've been busy with school and life. Moreover, it's been pretty overwhelming for me to find inspirations and content. Lately, my life has been like a roller coaster and if I was to  write about my life the past year and the produce a movie, I'd definitely deserve an Oscar Nomination. Good news though, I'm working on a new post that is inspired by someone very special to me 🦉.

A letter to my girlfriend.

Dear girlfriend, I can’t blame thinking that I never knew you at all. I tried to deny you but nothing ever made me feel so wrong. I thought I was protecting you, from everything that I go through just show me how I got lost on the way. And now here I am with all my heart I hope you understand. I know I let you down but I’m never making that mistake again. You brought me closer to who I really I’m, so come take my hand because I want the world to see what you mean to me. Just know that, I’m sorry I never wanted to make you feel so small. Our story is just the beginning but let the truth break down these walls. And every time I think of you, I think of how you pushed me through and showed me how much better I could be. You make me feel like I’m myself instead of being someone else. I want to live that every day. You always say what nobody else says to me. You know exactly how to get to me, you know what I need. For this reason, I’ll be your superman. I’ll take your hand and fly y

Inside a matatu...

Recently I boarded a 111 matatu, Vercase, and I was out of bundles so I decided to observe the various behaviors of the passengers. I managed to analyze the passengers and categorized them into various categories:   The Diva This kind of passenger will enter into a matatu and spot a seat in most cases near a good looking dude. On reaching at the spotted seat, she would open her purse take out her tissue and wipe the seat then pull her skirt and finally sit down. After some time the diva would take out a mirror, make her hair, balm her lips and finally take out a bottle of cheap cologne and apply. Afterwards she takes out her Techno phone and takes selfies then posts them on IG. The Musician This type of passenger would lip sync to each and every song playing in the matatu. He would tap the legs and bob their heads on every song playing. He will also lip sync to the effects of DJ Aslan mixes and also the beats of house music. The Sleeper This passenger would slee
